THE TIMELINE ATLAS
JOURNEY ATLAS ↗FORM / ROUTE / BOUND
1398 REVIEWED EVENTSLANGUAGE
IN TIME.
One cross-word chronology for every defensibly bounded form and journey stage—without converting a vague historical label into a fake year.
A reviewed graph bound, not a claim of an earliest human word.
Only stages with directly cited numeric bounds enter this atlas.
Labels remain visible in Journey Atlas, but not parsed into false years.

FILTER THE CHRONOLOGY
WHEN DID THE EVIDENCE LAND?
TWO CLOCKS.
NO FALSE PRECISION.
FORM CHRONOLOGY dates a canonical linguistic form or reconstruction in the lexical graph.
ROUTE CHRONOLOGY dates a geographic or transmission stage in a word’s journey.
They can share an era band, but they are never silently treated as the same kind of claim.

THE EVIDENCE IN TIME
Antiquity5 ON THIS PAGE
500 BCE–200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEProto-Germanic linguistic horizon
hete
*hatiz-
The reconstructed noun is supported by attested Germanic comparanda; no archaeological point or single tribal speech community is asserted.
500 BCE–200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEProto-Germanic linguistic horizon
hatis
*hatiz-
The Gothic noun, i-stem Old English hete and Old Saxon heti, and the wider Germanic cognate set support a comparative noun base without licensing one archaeological point or directly written Proto-Germanic token.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A conventional comparative-linguistic interval, not an attested word date.
AUDIT RECORD ↗450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English records
hatred
hete and hatian
English records preserve both noun and verb. The later noun hate can be analyzed as direct continuation with remodeling or as a derivative from the verb that replaced hete.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The Old English forms are attested; their later lexical convergence is not assigned to one event.
AUDIT RECORD ↗450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English records
hate
hete and hatian
English preserves a feeling noun and an action verb; Beowulf places the verb beside hostile deeds and injury.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The period contains multiple records; no one token is promoted as the first.
AUDIT RECORD ↗450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English textual traditions
hete
hete and its compounds
Gospel gloss, poetry, prose, homily, psalm, and biblical translation records preserve the noun and a productive compound family.

1150 CE–1500 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMiddle English records
hate
hate and haten
The noun and verb converge formally. Major dictionaries disagree on whether the noun directly continues hete or was remodeled from haten.
1150 CE–1500 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMiddle English lexical transition
hete
hete beside hate and haten
Published dictionaries disagree on whether later hate directly continues hete or was remodeled from the verb and replaced it.
1150 CE–1500 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMiddle English lexical transition
hatian
hatian to haten and hate
The inherited verb continues into Middle English while the noun may have been remodeled from it or may directly continue hete.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The transition and noun remodeling dispute are gradual rather than one dated event.
AUDIT RECORD ↗UNBOUNDED IS
A REAL RESULT.
Stages without source-backed numeric bounds stay in their complete Journey Atlas route, carry an explicit temporal note, and remain absent here until the evidence supports normalization. The missing point is visible work—not permission to guess.
